Microsoft is undergoing a significant restructuring, placing artificial intelligence (AI) at the forefront of its strategy. The company has announced the layoff of approximately 9,000 employees, primarily targeting generalist sales roles, as it shifts towards a model that prioritizes technical expertise over traditional relationship-building in sales. This move is part of a broader initiative to enhance its AI offerings, particularly through its Copilot program, which has seen a 50% increase in funding and a 70% rise in partner incentives. Microsoft aims to eliminate product silos and align its go-to-market strategy with customer priorities, emphasizing the importance of AI integration in sales and service delivery.OpenAI is also making waves by diversifying its cloud infrastructure, now utilizing Google Cloud alongside Microsoft, CoreWeave, and Oracle. This strategic shift comes as OpenAI prepares to introduce new features in its ChatGPT platform, including a checkout function for e-commerce, which will allow users to make purchases directly through the chatbot. The company is positioning itself to compete more directly with Microsoft's Office suite by enhancing productivity tools and integrating e-commerce capabilities, signaling a move from being a model provider to an end-user platform.Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched a new platform called Amazon Bedrock Agent Core, designed to facilitate collaboration among AI agents across organizations. This platform aims to address concerns about job security in the face of AI advancements, as it allows for the construction of interconnected AI agents capable of performing various tasks. Unlike competitors, AWS's offering is designed to be flexible and support multiple AI frameworks, positioning it as a neutral infrastructure provider in the AI landscape.In a rapid-fire segment, several companies have announced new partnerships and product updates. iRACA has teamed up with TD Cynics to extend its secure access services, while cgen.ai has launched a platform to streamline AI workloads. Nutrien has improved its Document AI software, and Cohesity has integrated its data management platform with Microsoft 365 Copilot, enabling users to leverage backup data for informed decision-making. These developments highlight a trend towards enabling service providers to evolve from mere technical support to delivering measurable business outcomes.

Vitamin A is often one of the less-discussed micronutrients in relation to bone health, taking a back seat to nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Yet this fat-soluble vitamin plays a fundamental role in skeletal development, remodeling, and mineral homeostasis. It influences gene expression in both osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and contributes to the regulation of bone turnover throughout the lifespan. But what makes vitamin A particularly interesting, and controversial, is that its effects on bone appear to follow a double-edged pattern. While it's essential for bone formation, several large epidemiological studies have suggested that chronically high intakes of preformed vitamin A may actually increase the risk of osteoporosis and fracture, especially when consumed as retinol from supplements or high-liver diets. And yet, the picture is not so clear-cut. This raises compelling questions: Is the concern over vitamin A and bone health justified, or is it a case of context-dependent risk? Can vitamin A, when combined with adequate levels of D and K, actually support bone strength? And are there thresholds above or below which risk increases? In this episode, we explore the human evidence on vitamin A and skeletal health, looking not only at fracture outcomes and bone mineral density data, but also at nutrient interactions, mechanistic plausibility, and the implications for supplement use in well-nourished populations.

1. Loneliness Loneliness related to social isolation causes a chronic elevation in cortisol, which leads to inflammation and an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Focus on nurturing at least 3 quality relationships. Prioritize regular social engagement and volunteering your time to help others. 2. Lack of sleepGetting less than 5 hours of sleep can increase your risk of early death by 30%! It also increases your risk of weight gain, cravings, and diabetes by 2 to 3 times. Always aim for at least 7 hours of sleep.3. Refined sugarProcessed sugar and starch contribute to liver fat, obesity, Alzheimer's, and inflammation. Cut sugar from your diet and follow a low-carb ketogenic diet. The Dr. Berg Junk Food Meter app allows you to quickly scan foods to identify the 3 key ingredients in most junk foods: sugars, starches, and seed oils. 4. Industrial seed oilsSeed oils create significant inflammation in the body. Avoid processed seed oils and choose healthy oils such as extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, tallow, and lard. 5. Reduce visceral fat naturally Visceral fat surrounds the organs and directly correlates with your longevity. Reduce visceral fat naturally by doing intermittent fasting and keto. 6. Stop snackingConstant snacking makes it impossible for your body to repair damaged cells. Stop snacking and only eat when you're hungry.7. Nutrient deficiencies A magnesium deficiency can lead to high blood pressure, arrhythmias, and muscle cramps. Magnesium is found in leafy greens and pumpkin seeds, or you can take a magnesium glycinate supplement. It's said that 40% of people are deficient in vitamin D, but that figure could be closer to 90%! Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of early death and leads to inflammation and depression. You need at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily. Low choline intake can cause a fatty liver and problems with memory and cognitive function. You need 550 mg per day, and the best sources are egg yolks and liver.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of the best-selling book The Healthy Keto Plan, and is the Director of Dr. Berg Nutritionals. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.

This episode was recorded at the 2025 Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium. Microbial protein has always been Dr. Frikins' main interest. It's the most important and consistent source of protein for the cow, with a very high amino acid content. Histidine is the only exception, but bypass protein sources high in histidine complement microbial protein well. Our assessment of microbial protein is all based on prediction models. In his presentation, Dr. Firkins talked about what we can do to have consistently high microbial protein production and how to make the best use of the models. He touched on starch and fat content as two areas of focus, emphasizing a balanced diet to achieve a balanced supply of microbial protein. (5:36)Dr. Firkins notes that about 90% of the bacteria in the rumen can't be cultured, and there is great diversity in the rumen. There's a core group of bacteria that almost every cow has that are really good at their job because they've been co-selected along with the cow for fiber digestion. The panel discusses how much the microbiome changes over time, host interactions with the microbial population, and inoculation of calves at birth and weaning. (8:47)Dr. De Souza and Dr. Faciola talk about starch associative effects and their impacts on fiber digestibility, how sugars impact the rumen and butyrate production, and the importance of butyrate in de novo milk fat synthesis. Dr. Frikins hypothesizes that when sugars improve fiber digestibility, the sugar stimulates how fiber digesters do their job. Some studies have shown an increase in rumen pH when sugars are supplemented, which may be part of the mechanism of improved fiber digestibility. However, he doesn't recommend using sugars when there is a lot of starch in the diet. (13:38)Dr. Faciola and Dr. Firkins discuss some of the finer points of the dietary starch and fiber digestibility relationship. What are you replacing when you add more starch? What is the proper amount of effective fiber in higher-starch diets? On the other hand, if you decrease starch a little bit, there might be more room for fat. Well-managed cows with adequate effective fiber can probably handle more starch. Dr. Firkins underlines that starch is more digestible than fiber and thus supports microbial protein, but an optimum level is desirable, perhaps 28-20%. (20:37)The panel talks about microbial growth efficiency and the energy-spilling mechanisms some bacteria have. Some models suggest that starch-digesting bacteria have higher maintenance energy requirements. The group then pivots to methane production and available feed additives marketed to reduce methane. Dr. Firkins notes that there is quite a bit of variability in the additives. He emphasizes that if we're using these products, we need to know and measure what's in them and have them be consistent. This is challenging due not only to variability in product, but also rumen adaptation. Dr. Firkins also reminds the audience that improving the cow's efficiency in general in a variety of ways will lead to a smaller environmental footprint. This can range from improving reproductive efficiency to understanding differences in the microbiome of cows who emit more or less methane and trying to shift microbial populations to those with lower emissions. (23:12)Dr. De Souza and Dr. Firkins discuss fatty acid supplementation and fiber digestion relationships. Dr. Firkins explains that in the microbiology literature, it's common to culture bacteria in a simple or complex medium, then add yeast culture. Interestingly, the yeast culture contains a lot of palmitic acid, which has been shown to improve fiber digestibility. He suggests the cell membrane of the bacteria is very critical. When fat supplementation depresses fiber digestibility, he suspects it's disrupting the bacterial membrane. Dr. De Souza recommends 1-2% palmitic acid in the diet for optimal results. (33:58)The panel touches on the importance and relevance of in vitro fermentation work, why histidine is the limiting amino acid in microbial protein, and Dr. Firkins' passion for protozoa.

How much thought have you given to the importance of a good chew? While this may sound like a random topic, the simple act of chewing—and making sure the diet includes tough and crunchy foods—has a profound impact on our health. From digestion and metabolism to oral health, facial development, and even the way we breathe, chewing plays a foundational role. In this episode, we explore how modern diets of ultra-processed, soft foods have contributed to metabolic dysfunction, altered jaw structure, and impaired breathing patterns that can disrupt sleep and brain function. We also dive into the surprising neurological benefits of chewing, including its role in satiety, memory, and mental health. Chewing activates the vagus nerve and stimulates the release of cholecystokinin, a hormone that supports memory, learning, and appetite regulation. It also reduces stress responses, boosting activity in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Research even suggests that soft diets can decrease synaptic density and hippocampal cell count—key factors in cognitive performance. This episode will have you reaching for raw carrots, slow-roasted stew meat, and other chewy, nutrient-dense foods while rethinking how each meal you serve your family can support both body and brain through the power of a good chew.

Meet Sara, the founder of GEM, a consumer health company reimagining daily nutrition. Sara discovered that even her carefully curated "healthy" diet was leaving massive nutritional gaps—a wake-up call that led her to create the first real food vitamin disrupting an industry built on synthetic pills and sugary gummies.Sara received a bachelor of science in international agricultural development studies and has spent a decade building and collaborating with startups, non-profits, and sustainable food networks all over the world. Throughout her career, she's learned from and worked with a kaleidoscopic array of experts from farmers and environmental enthusiasts to functional medicine doctors, herbalists, and registered dietitians. Despite everyone's unique approach to nutrition, there is one thing collectively agreed upon: we must change the way we feed our bodies and our planet.In this episode we dive into:• Why an apple today has dramatically fewer nutrients than 50 years ago (and what this means for your daily nutrition)• The surprising science behind why whole food vitamins absorb 263 times better than synthetic alternatives• How to fill nutritional gaps without swallowing handfuls of pills or relying on messy powders• The hidden connection between fiber and natural GLP-1 support that's changing the weight loss conversationThe Reality Check - Your "Perfect" Diet Isn't Perfect• Even health-conscious people are walking around with serious nutrient deficiencies without knowing it• Our depleted soils mean that perfectly planned meals still leave critical gaps in nutrition• The overwhelming supplement aisle creates analysis paralysis when you're already running on empty• Most people skip supplementation entirely because pills feel clinical and gummies feel like candyThe Food-as-Medicine Revolution• Why heating and processing supplements destroys the very nutrients you're trying to consume• The proprietary cold-press method that preserves maximum bioavailability in every bite• How combining prebiotics with probiotics creates the synergy your gut actually needs• The game-changing difference between isolated synthetic vitamins and whole food sources with cofactorsThe Simple Solution That Actually Works• One daily bite contains 20 different plants without any added sugar or artificial ingredients• The strategic pause that transforms supplementation from chore into mindful self-care ritual• Why the chocolate cherry sleep bite works better than melatonin without creating dependency• How motherhood taught Sara that efficiency isn't about doing more—it's about doing what mattersThis conversation reminds us that optimal nutrition doesn't require perfection or complexity.

Are you a serial snacker? Is there ALWAYS room for dessert? Do you find yourself feeling hungry throughout the day, despite just eating? Or maybe you notice reaching for a bag of chips whenever you're feeling stressed? Did you know that there are actually different types of hunger that can shape our eating habits? Spoiler: You're NOT broken!Welcome to Salad with a Side of Fries, the podcast where we dig into the surprising truths about how we eat and why. Today, host and health coach Jenn Trepeck is tackling a topic that's far more complex than it seems: hunger. We're going to explore the fascinating world of hedonic hunger, the kind driven by pure pleasure, and how it can often override our natural homeostatic hunger, that biological signal that tells us we actually need fuel. We'll also explore how processed foods significantly impact our hunger signals and strategies for managing each type. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about your cravings and your plate, because by the end of this episode, you'll have a whole new understanding of what it means to truly be hungry. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Hedonic hunger, driven by dopamine, can override the biological drive of homeostatic hunger(06:48) Hunger is not a moral failing, and how to identify homeostatic hunger(12:01) Cravings versus hunger, and studies show high nutrient density diets reduce hunger pains and cravings(16:58) Is it hunger, or is it restriction, and hedonic hunger involves eating for pleasure, triggered by ultra-processed foods or stress(22:47) Controlling hedonic hunger(27:35) Emotional hunger is eating to cope with emotions, and recognizing emotional eating is key to managing it(33:50) Conditioned hunger is defined as a learned response to stimuli or situations(37:55) Hidden hunger is defined as cellular micronutrient deficiency, often from processed foods(43:00) Toxic hunger is defined as discomfort from processed food toxins(47:34) Nutrient-dense, whole foods emphasized as key to balancing all hunger typesKEY TAKEAWAYS:Hunger is multifaceted and often extends beyond the need for energy. There are several types of hunger—hedonic, emotional, conditioned, hidden, and toxic—that are distinct from basic physiological (homeostatic) hunger. This indicates that a complex interplay of pleasure can drive eating, emotions, learned responses, and even cellular deficiencies or toxic exposures, rather than just an empty stomach.Understanding the various drivers of hunger is crucial for managing eating behaviors effectively. Recognizing whether hunger is due to a biological need, an emotional state, a learned trigger, or even a cellular deficiency allows individuals to address the root cause more effectively. For example, emotional eating requires different strategies than homeostatic hunger.Food quality has a significant impact on hunger and overall well-being. Eating Nutrient-dense foods can reduce true hunger pains and cravings, while processed foods contribute to "hidden" and "toxic" hunger due to nutrient deficiencies and the presence of toxins. This underscores the importance of whole, unprocessed foods not just for satiety, but also for preventing various forms of discomfort and health issues often mistaken for hunger.QUOTES: (07:13) "The body only has so many ways to communicate with us." - Jenn Trepeck(14:21) “Eating nutrient-dense foods minimizes hunger pains." - Jenn Trepeck(21:06) “Hedonic hunger is when people get into that shame and blame and beat themselves up.” - Jenn Trepeck(31:12) “One of the best questions my therapist ever asked me was, where am I not being fed?" - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: HungerThe Bulls-Eye of Change
Story at-a-glance A large health screening revealed 45% of women have low hemoglobin and 75% are deficient in vitamin D; these low levels affect energy, hormones and overall health Nutrient deficiencies manifest differently across age groups, with younger women experiencing immune and hormonal issues while older women face increased risks of bone loss and cardiovascular problems Smart strategies to increase hemoglobin include consuming iron-rich foods with vitamin C, avoiding coffee/tea near meals and addressing absorption issues like gluten sensitivity While low iron is a concern in menstruating women, iron overload is dangerous and common, especially in men and post-menopausal women; high iron levels increase cancer risk and damage mitochondria Regular testing of ferritin, the protein that stores iron in your body (ideal range 35 to 45 ng/mL), and vitamin D levels (aim for 60 to 80 ng/mL) is necessary for targeted supplementation and lifestyle adjustments
In this episode of Vineyard Underground, Fritz welcomes soil scientist Dr. Jaclyn Fiola for an in-depth discussion on one of viticulture's most misunderstood nutrients — potassium. Drawing from her recent research and extensive fieldwork across the Mid-Atlantic region, Jaclyn breaks down how potassium behaves differently from other macronutrients, where it originates in the soil, and what makes its availability so complex for grape growers. Fritz and Jaclyn explore why vineyards in the Eastern U.S. often see discrepancies between soil and tissue potassium levels and how that can impact grape quality, vine health, and ultimately wine pH. They dive into the implications of both potassium deficiency and excess, emphasizing how water availability and soil mineralogy play pivotal roles in potassium uptake. Growers will also learn why standard soil tests may not give the full picture — and why plant tissue testing, particularly whole-leaf sampling at veraison, is often more reliable. Jaclyn shares the results of her groundbreaking study, highlighting best practices for sampling, how to interpret potassium levels accurately, and actionable steps for managing young versus mature vines. Whether you're planting a new vineyard or managing high potassium levels in an existing one, this episode equips you with the tools to make more informed nutrient management decisions. In this episode, you will hear: Potassium largely comes from soil parent material, not organic matter, making it harder to assess with traditional testing. Moisture-rich soils increase potassium availability, especially in non-irrigated Eastern vineyards. Whole-leaf tissue testing at veraison gives the most accurate indication of potassium status in grapevines. Too much potassium can raise wine pH, affecting mouthfeel, color, and shelf life. Before applying potassium fertilizers, understand your soil minerals and use targeted tissue testing to avoid overcorrection.

Composting tyranny into nutrient for democracy How shall we craft the redemptive Act V – from our current Act IV of cruel carnage ransacking (from Old Norse = “to pillage”) Community? Caroline welcomes Henry Giroux, deeply dedicated cultural critic, translator of complex liberating pedagogy into accessible vernacular….always the micro to the macro…. and ladling out of the cauldron redemptive strategy and vision to navigate through this dangerous crack-pot tyranny time… education essential to good citizenship- essential to democracy Prodigious contributor- authored or co-authored over 65 books, articles, lectures”No one is better than Henry Giroux at analyzing the truly dangerous threats to our society. He punctures our delusions and offers us a compelling and enlightened vision of a better way.” — Bob Herbert “Henry Giroux is one of the singular intellects in contemporary life, a sane, compassionate, and fierce voice against the society of domination, inequality and the madness of ruthless Imperialist conquest.” — John Steppling, Playwright, screenwriter, and essayist https://www.henryagiroux.com/ The post The Visionary Activist Show – Composting tyranny into nutrient for democracy appeared first on KPFA.
If you're maintaining a healthy lifestyle—regular exercise, balanced nutrition, minimal alcohol—and still experiencing fatigue, weight fluctuations, digestive issues, and hormonal symptoms, you're not alone. This was Jenny's experience. After two years of persistent health challenges, she came to us as a last resort. She had already spent thousands of dollars on care that didn't produce results. No comprehensive testing. No targeted interventions. Just more supplements and generic advice. Her case wasn't unusual. What made the difference was data. Through our 1:1 program, Jenny completed a full panel of functional assessments, including: Hormone & adrenal testing (DUTCH test) Comprehensive gut analysis Nutrient and inflammatory markers Genetic testing to understand her body's metabolic and detox pathways The findings confirmed several core issues: Severely diminished cortisol output Estrogen dominance with low progesterone production Leaky gut and poor gut microbiota diversity Methylation and detoxification gene variants contributing to poor recovery and persistent inflammation Once we had this information, we developed a structured plan with targeted interventions to support endocrine function, rebuild gut integrity, and address her specific genetic vulnerabilities. Within weeks, she began to notice improvements: more stable energy, clearer cognition, better sleep, and less bloating. While she's still progressing through the program, the results so far validate a simple principle: symptoms require investigation—not assumption. If you've been told “everything looks normal” but still don't feel well, you may benefit from the same thorough, data-driven approach.
